A store I go into sometimes got a big shipment of these three games a while back; I would say over 10 of each.

They had them at $6.99 a piece so I kind of held off since I have about a million unopened games anyway.

But I just went in today and they're down to a copy or two of each.

Has anyone here played these games? Are they worth buying?

I don't own any recent PC sports games, but fun sports game doesn't sound too bad as a diversion right now.

Sure they are ok games but don't expect to be able to play them online as any support for them was cut off.

I was thinking more single player.

Ah, screw it. Maybe I'll just pick them up used for console some time.

Every time I buy a PC sports game it just gathers dust anyway.

I wouldn't get NHL. That series got rather boring until 09, and even then I don't think the PC version was revamped the same way the consoles were.

Fifa is great, get it.

WAIT, saw that i was in the pc forums not in console. Pass on fifa. No idea who the hell is designing the fifa games for pc, but theyre terrible.

However, if you have a console...pick up fifa.

Agree - once they start using next-gen on PC for FIFA I'll probably switch back to them. They're still using the old PS2 engine for the PC version and it's terrible.
